Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Grandmother Moses Speaks

I was minding our own ancient business,
making maple and brown sugar oatmeal
for my constantly
and instantly 
devouring daughter,
when GrandMother Moses
of Poetic Narrative
broke into my day:

frankly, I didn't even know She could speak

Racism and Patriarchalism
are the inside Angry
and outside Terrified voices
perpetuating retributive injustice 
and capital-value monopolistic
monocultural
monotheistic
win/lose competitive models
of Left v Right,
West v East,
North v South
Ego v EcoHabitat

VerbalMind v NonVerbalEmbodied
multiculturing intelligence
with ego/eco-cooperative therapeutic intent.

Then the kettle
began to whistle
a just-in-time 
win/win 
ecopolitical reminder
we can choose to compare
and contrast
across a spectrum
of win/lose
through lose/lose
toward appositional co-arising win/win
with sufficient 
just-right/left
out/in hot water
and maple with brown sugar oatmeal
to feed our constantly
instantly hungry 
potential EarthMothers.
